Energy Innovation

Chemrec is a Swedish company with a gasification technology to convert "black liquor", the major by-product of pulp mills and a highly concentrated form of biomass, into a significant energy source, yielding motor fuels, chemicals, or electricity. The shift to gasification of black liquor would substantially improve the profitability and cash flow of pulp mills while turning these mills into major exporters of motor fuels and renewable energy to the rest of the economy.
